The hearing was long and boring, just as Cedric had expected. It was all a formality so most of the people in the room already knew the outcome.
There was just way too much evidence against the Baron family for them to defend themselves. They had also chosen to take on the wrong enemy, two of the most powerful families in the country.
When the judge announced the verdict, Cedric could hear the members of the Baron family cry out in despair. They knew then and there that their fate had been sealed, there was no escaping no matter how hard they tried.
Cedric didn't want to linger in the courtroom, so as soon as his presence was no longer required, he excused himself and left.
He knew that Alexi would probably drop by his office to chat a little, that is if he managed to get through the media that was now at the doors clamoring for information.
